Biography

Family History		. The book Coggeshall's in America writes about Thomas: "Mr. Coggeshall was a farmer in Middletown, R.I.; he was a freeman in Newport, R.I., May 5, 1713. He was a Deputy from Newport, R.I., in 1732, and was Justice of Peace at Newport, R.I., from May, 1719 to May, 1743. He was corporal of the train band February 20, 1708, and was afterwards called captain."¹
Birth	25 April 1688	Capt. Thomas Coggeshall was born on 25 April 1688. The Coggeshall genealogy lists his birth date as 24 Jun 1688.²
Marriage	11 March 1708	He and Mercy Freeborn were married on 11 March 1708 I have seen Thomas's wife listed as Mary Freeborn but there is a written 1708 remonstrance by the Friends Monthly Meeting clearly discussing Mercy and Thomas Coggeshall. Perhaps it was a confusion with his brother Joshua. The Coggeshall book says he married "Mercy or Mary Freeborn, daughter of Gideon Freeborn."²
Death	26 January 1771	He died on 26 January 1771 in Middletown, Newport County, Rhode Island,²
